I attend college and work as a freelance writer. I help dialogue for sitcom and I write for a scholarly journal on various inane topics. That is about all the productivity I can muster these days. I don't care much for college and would rather be taking online courses.
I find myself most skilled as a literary critic, but have tried my hand at more creative styles of writing. I am currently working on a novel.
I'd also like to add an avatar, but I can't figure out how.

Labyronia Tales: Legend of Mysteria RPG Review
Well, I'd suggest using a journal script to better help take care of the note taking process. Not many people are up for taking notes these days.
FUNdamentals of RPGs Part III
Well,there are a few more details to the mythic struggle I would like to add.
The mythic hero is normally scarred at the end of the journey, like Frodo in the LOTR. He survives the journey, but will never be the same because he has a thorn in his side. Odysseys arrives home, but knows that he will soon be torn away from home again on another journey. Mythic heroes rarely complete their quest, but with massive personal costs.
"But wait a minute, Frodo isn't a mythic hero, he's a folk hero like Hans Solo," you may say. That is true. In the Lord of the Rings Aragorn is the mythic hero.
J.R.R. Tolkien reversed the traditional rewards for Frodo and Aragorn. Similarly, he used an anti-quest rather than a quest for his protagonists.
Both Star Wars and LOTR mixed the classic mythic structure and traditional folklore structures together with a character in the role of each.
Additionally, mythic stories tend to have what is known as the "Invocation" where the mythic hero receives divine power or help. The invocation can take many forms, when Captain Cisco get the Prophets to destroy a Dominion fleet in Deep Space Nine. A force of nature like a typhoon could be used as an invocation (similar to the Japan's Kamikaze.) Final Fantasy likes to use the Crystals to act both as the object of the quest and as the invocation.
Anyways, great article, thank you!

I just made it to the end. I'm not going to review it until it is finished, but I really hope you do finish it. I really like the themes presented thus far, however, what you have needs a lot of polishing.
Akage Review
author=Linkis
Aw, wish I could.
I've talked about reviews on this site a few times.
I simply don't have the confidence to write one. :(
But you're right, I should at least try :)
It's a good thing I at least have a spellcheck system to correct that part of a review :)
Well, sir, you've already written a review in this thread.
You reviewed Sacredlobo's review.
It is as my English professor always said,
"Be careful when you review, lest ye be reviewed in turn."
If you can review a reviewer, you can review a game.

Legend of von Atherluft?
That is a rather... bizarre Germanic name. Care to give us a little press release?
What features are you thinking about adding?

I'm a big Futurama fan too. I'm surprised you remembered the name of such an obscure character but that guy did have a funny scene with Zoidburg.
Anyway hope you have fun here.
Actually, I was watching the episode while I was making my account and since I'm a big fan of both M*A*S*H and Futurama, it seemed to be the perfect fit. :)
I must have seen every episode of Futurama a dozen times by now and it never get old!
10 Minute Infinite Review
No, the 5/4 rating is not a typo. Gameplay recieved 1 of 2 available merit points which boosed it above the 4/4 rating. It is a method I use to balance my rating system because I have to convert my rating style into the 5-star format. It doesn't affect the final rating... in this case... but it does highlight the gameplay category.

Hey, if you ever make another game like this, send me a message and I'll test it for you. I greatly enjoy Zelda-esque games and if this is your first game like this, I can't wait to see what the second one might be like.
Dragon Lancer Review
author=kory_toombs
Wow! I got a review for this game!
I consider Demonic Tutor to be my best attempt at making a game in this genre so far. So you might want to have a look at that.
Thanks for the review.
No Problem,
I've actually played Demonic Tutor and found it to be a lot better than this game. The music is more original, the storyline is far more seamless, characters seem more complete, and the battle system is a bit more interesting. I'm not sure what I would rate it as, maybe a 3.5? I've found that my reviews have a life of their own and they don't ever seem to end with the rating I thought I would give the game. But who am I to argue with myself? ...
Anyways, I focus mainly on games that are unreviewed.
